The free-agent market has a fascinating new name.

The Dallas Cowboys have released pass rusher DeMarcus Ware, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Media's Albert Breer reported. The team later made the move official.
It's a stunning move because the Cowboys so often make sentimental decisions by holding on to lesser aging veterans for way too long. Now Jerry Jones is saying goodbye to the best Cowboys player over the last 15 years.
Ware was set to make $12.25 million in 2014, and the move will help save salary cap space for the strapped Cowboys (more than $7 million in 2014). The present day version of Jerry Jones had to pay up for all his previous mistakes.
Is Ware definitely worth $12.25 million coming off an injury-plagued year? Of course not. But the Cowboys have held on to guys like Miles Austin, Ken Hamlin, Terence Newman, Jay Ratliff, Roy Williams and the other Roy Williams past their expiration dates. Ware, one of the greatest players in franchise history, didn't get the same consideration.
The Cowboys figure to be active in free agency because they essentially have no defensive line. They need pass rushers at defensive end and need big help at defensive tackle.


Ware, meanwhile, becomes one of the most intriguing names on the free-agent market. We've ranked him in our top ten players available overall.
Turning 32 years old in July, this will be Ware's first shot at free agency. The future Hall of Famer will have to decide whether he wants to play as a defensive end in a 4-3 scheme or go back to the 3-4 defense that he played so well in for so many years.

Gary Kubiak called timeout on last play to keep a legend in the game

By*Brandon Spano*on January 24, 2016


THERE were 12 seconds*left. The Patriots had just scored a touchdown and, because of a missed extra point earlier in the game, were down by two points instead of one. DeMarcus Ware had put it all out there all game long and was very much responsible for what would seem like an endless amount of hits on Tom Brady.

But now he’s gassed. He’s played long enough to know that if he can’t go full speed, he will just be a detriment. Especially against the Patriots.

Kubiak had previously said that he wasn’t going to*play*the last*down without DeMarcus Ware so when it came up after the game, Ware explained exactly what happened.

“I was so tired,” he admitted. “I think there was 12 seconds left and I just ran off the field. They were like, ‘DeMarcus can you go one more play?’ I looked at them like, ‘(panting and breathing heavy) I can’t. I can’t go.'”

Gary Kubiak wasn’t hearing it, though. He knew that Ware gave the Broncos the best chance to win and he was dead-set on him being out there.

Ware continued, “They said, ‘What if we call timeout?’ I said, ‘Don’t even worry about it,’ and I just ran out there on the field.”

Ware heard the pleading from his coaches and wasn’t going to let them down at the very end.

“I went back out there on the field and all of the sudden they called a timeout and I said, ‘They got my back,'” he explained.

The timeout was to let DeMarcus catch his breath but it ended up showing him much more.

Ware will play in the first Super Bowl of his heralded career a few weeks from now.
